BACK IN THE HOSPITAL

Don was having great difficulty moving again, took him to an urgent are center on Friday, blood and urine test came back negative but by yesterday he was getting worse so, he is back in the hospital. He has a UTI and possibly the beginning of pneumonia. Very weak. Going there now since I have had 4 hours of sleep in two days.

Hope Don is on the mend now! Try and get some sleep, hard I know. But as you well know, you will need all your strength, when he comes home!

Thinking of you, sending huge hug across the ether!

Lots of love

Is Don any better, Audrey? Kind of makes you wonder that his tests came back negative at Urgent Care when he actually did have an infection.

Hope you are able to get some rest soon. Prayers for both of you.

Oh,no ok. I know this sounds wierd. but Don is in the hospital, he is being taken care of; therefore make this a time for you to get some deep rest......sleep....relax don't worry too much about Don right now worry about yourself. You need to gain or at least maintain your health. take this opportunity to do so. No guilt, just gain!

Sleep Well!

I can't sleep. Our daughter has caused a huge fight between me and her. As usual I am always the bad one. I give up. BTW, Don has an upset stomach along with everything else. Think it is from the meds?

Heady he is in afib now and they are more worried about that since he has double pneumonia and not a UTI. Am I confused that would be yes. Since he was admitted on Sat and had been on meds for 1 day it masks what was really going on. Discovered the Afib this afternoon, he never knows when he has it. TY for the lots of love and the big hug. I needed it.

S has AF has well. Has for some 5 years now. He is on Wafarin for it, which is great for some one who falls!!! But so far "touch wood" got away with only a couple of nasty bruises.

Thinking of you!

Lots of love

They think he has pulminary edema. Trying to clear that up. He is very weak and is still frozen. Very confused, doesn't remember a lot. Slept most of the day yesterday. I am going to rest for a while before I go back to the hospital. Not eating much, both of us.

He is in congestive heart failure and they consider him stable.
